County have an average attendance of about 5,500 (a quarter of the capacity), the atmosphere is very quiet, particularly in the Derek Pavis stand. All the noise seems to eminate from one end of the Sirrel stand. Notts are a yoyo team who are usually one division behind Forest and have about a quarter of the fan base. County are better than Forest because: 1)Notts are the oldest profesional team in the world. 2)Notts gave some football kits to Juventus many years ago which is why they wear black and white stripes. 3)They survive with fewer fans and less money. 4)Notable past players include Tommy Lawton, Garry Birtles, Jermaine Pennant, Darren Huckerby (rejected because of his height), Mark Draper, Tommy Johnson. 5)Darren Ward is better than Mark Crossley.
Forest are better than Notts because: 1) Twice European Cup winners (79 and 80), 2)Best ever manager(Brian Clough) 3) More fans, more money, more success, bigger ground, 4) Notable past players include Martin O'Neill, Ian Storey-Moore, Viv Anderson, Roy Keane, Teddy Sheringham, Peter Shilton, Trevor Francis (first million pound player but actually signed for £999,999 to stop Francis being big headed), John Robertson and Andrea Silenzi.

I'm Sorry to have to read this kind of drivel from an embittered Notts Forest fan, why do you always get so wound up if we are so lowly.
or is it just that you're in the kind of decline that we were in 30 years ago and from now on will only be a mediocre first/second division
club looking enviously across the borders to Derby and Leicester. The only way foward is to merge we'll keep your first name 'Notts'
and our second 'County' and we can play in balck and red stripes.

Who do you think the new manager will be now that Ian Atkins has gone to Carlise and John Ward looks like staying at Wolves ?

Re the manager
probably O'Neill when the hoops kick him out!
